RATIONALE
Which of the following is the most accurate
indicator of kidney function in a patient with chro
renal failure (CRF)?
•A. Serum creatinine level
•B. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level
•C. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
•D. Urine specific gravity
Rationale: GFR is the best indicator of kidney function because it refle
the kidneys' ability to filter blood and remove waste. It is a more specifi
and reliable measure of kidney health than serum creatinine or BUN, w
can be influenced by factors unrelated to kidney function.
